The Very Best Writings and Resources.
This collection of previously published articles will enlighten and inspire anyone who has ever visited the region of Southwestern France or those wishing to travel there for the first time. Written by authors and journalists with impeccable reputations, Southwestern France is revealed and explored in all its quaint and provincial beauty.
Organised by themes, such as Current Events, Food and Drink, Museums and Monuments, etc, each theme is accompanied by an extremely detailed, annotated bibliography that will, without a doubt, be as entertaining as the recommended books themselves.
Besides being a provocative literary-minded anthology, 'The Collected Traveler' is also an invaluable resource. Readers will find practical information on the day to day needs of a tourist (maps and hotels) as well as the more challenging needs of a traveler to this region (rural accommodations, walking paths, vineyard tours).
Additionally, and perhaps most importantly for many of us, this book delves into the rich and varied cuisine and wines of the different regions - ranging from Bordeaux, to Languedoc, to the Pyrenees.
The variety and depth of this collection provides a unique understanding of the region of Southwestern France that is sure to make any trip richer and more rewarding. It offers much more than any typical guidebook on the shelves now, and best of all, it is perhaps as captivating to read after the trip as it is before.
